LRSD Hall High School principal was suspended for event where fight with gun errupted. Released records also make reference to a Crimes Against Children investigation

Carlton McGhee - Hall High principal

On August 3, 2024, a non-district basketball tournment took place at Hall High school.

A fight broke out and a juvenile had a handgun and used it to strike several individuals.

Turns out McGhee did not follow established LRSD policies about use of district facilities.

McGhee caught a five day suspenion without pay.

Then in December, a complant was made to LRSD about a volunteer softball coach at Southwest High School having innapropriate conact with a student.

Unbeknownst to LRSD, the SWHS coach was a convicted sex offender.

We broke the story about that two days after that complaint was logged and an insider tipped us about it and the sex offender angle - https://www.smr.snarkymedia.com/2024/12/lrsd-quicky-reacts-to-snarky-medias.html

Records we obtained from LRSD about the sex offender volunteer coach at Southwest High, contained emails between Jordan Eason, LRSD Human Resources Director of Employee Relations and Aaron Gossett, and investigator with the Arkansas State Police, Crimes Against Children unit.

Aaron Gossett - ASP Crimes Against Children Investigator

Followers might recognize her name as we published a story about her in May 2024.

That emails made reference to a previous investigation the ASP CAC unit had conducted concerning McGhee.

We requested a copy of McGee's personnel file back in December when we saw these emails when preparing our story about the sex offender SWHS coach.

We found no records to reflect any administrative leave in McGee's file in that timeframe.

The public has a right to know if school district employees are accused of criminal actions and are being investigated by a law enforcement agency.

The Little Rock School District employs some sketchy individuals and their lack of acountablility is incredible.

***UPDATE - 01/17/25***

LRSD provided some additional records regarding McGhee.

One of the documents provides details about the child maltreatment investigation.

The parent of a Hall High student, who also happens to be a LRSD Security Officer, filed a complaint about McGhee inappropriately touching her daughter and making her uncomfortable during a search for weed.

Other records provided show that he was in fact placed on administrative leave during the investigation and that he received a Letter of Caution.
